Georgina,

How old are the kids and do the stepkids sleep alongside your partner? Or are they just sleeping in your empty bed? And what is your relationship like with your SS?

I wonder how you all feel about having your step children in your bed while you are away from home? Does it bother you at all? It makes me feel as if I should never go away for fear that my place at home is disintegrated, and I am replaced by my SS. This is totally irrational and probably quite selfish, but the fact my partner won’t listen to how much this hurts me actually makes me reconsider the whole relationship. I would love to know what you all think, because I’m lost!

I’m off on my own business trip in a week and I’m looking forward to it, I must say. The big bed, all to myself… aaaahhhhhh. I can feel the relaxation setting in already. I will definitely miss My Hubby and my little ones, but the down time (even when I’m there for work) is wonderful every once in awhile. I wish I were going somewhere magical like SF, but it will be cold, cold, and more cold where I’m headed.

I haven’t had my coffee yet…

I meant to say, “NOt always easy to get..” Off to work.

Exactly. Don’t we all need time that is just ours? I think every woman would say yes…if she’s being honest:) Not always to get…which is why I feel a little spoiled right now, even though I’m working my arse off.

HA Izzy likes Izzy-time…. I used to have a job where I’d stay in a hotel at least 1 week every month. I relished the time that I spent away, I ate the food I wanted, I’d eat alone in restaurants and read books and drink wine. I LOVED it… I’m not saying that I didn’t like my home life, I just liked not being there sometimes. I like me… I like spending time alone. I like the breathing space.

Good for you Ms Rose… it seems that you’re comfortable enough with yourself to enjoy the down time, and in love, with your family and your life in Austin enough to want to keep it.
